The second half of Groq's two-stage catalog cull, after Qwen3-32B and Llama 4 Scout went in July. Free and developer tiers only — committed-spend enterprise contracts were exempt. llama-3.3-70b-versatile was the only free-tier model with enough context headroom for a lot of real production prompts, and nothing left in the free catalog replaced it.
